CASUALS 44 --
As many of you' know, I'm not a baseball
fan, but when someone offers me a free
ticket. I'll Watch almost anything,
A few weeks ago I saw my first big league
game in person • a contest between ,the
Toronto Blue Jays and the Milwaukee
&ewers. We had excellent seats along the
first base line. The diamond looked smaller
than the impression given by tv cameras;'the
ball moved faster, and the crack of the bat,
when it made contact with the ball, sounded
much louder. •
With his usual candour, my brother-in-law
leaned over to my sister and I after we' sat
down and advised, "You gotta keep your
eyes on ,the ball. This iS where people get
hit."
We soon found out what he meant. In the
first two innings, half a &inn foul balls
headed in our direction; we felt . shell-,
shocked. My problem was that after the ball
left the pitcher's hand, I lost track of it.
Consequently, whenever I heard wood hit
leather, I automatically ducked. • ' -
After a while, I relaxed a little-The balls
seemed to pop up high and come down
several rowsbehirid us. In addition, I noticed
• a boy of about tweive.or thirteen sitting in
front of rite and three men to my right, I
reasoned that, if a ball came in my direction,
at least four pairs of hands would be in front
of my face trying to catch it and.surely one of .
them would snag_ ji.. ,
I began to enjoy the game, but I' admit I
got as much kick out of listening to the fans
as watching the players:
All 'around me came shouts from the
experts: "You shoulda had it, you fool "
"Clown, Clown!" "Show a little hustle, will
ya?" "Get that bum outta therel"
When a good ' play was , made,' it was.,,
John anmaat discovered
comet s it just doesn't pay
to toss garbage' along the •
„
"Happy Birihday" to Miss
Ila 'Gardner who celebrated
• her birthday on thuisday
afternoon and a party was
givep in her honour by the
• staff. Entertainment was
provided fOr the afternoon by,
Lorne Lawson. Stanley Hillen
and Art Finlayson, who
'played some good old tyme
music for the residents who
• joined in singing and dancing.
' Marshal Young favoured
with a solo aticketrt Finlaysoh
alSo gave two selections on
the guitar and mouth organ.
Mr. Lawson played
"Amazing G ace" at the
close of -pi nil, We are
acknowledged, toos "Nice catch!" '"That's
pitchin"eml" "Way to go!" -••
To our left was a nian with a camera, a
telescopic tense and a companion with
powerful lungs. He focused the camera on a
certain player, while his friend tried to
attract the player's` attention by yelling his
name, "hey you" or anything else he could
think of.
Behind us was a rooting section fol• one of
the Blue Jays - Rico Carty. Every time he
came up to bat,' the chant began: "Let's go,
, Rico-o-o!" One little girl got carried 'away
With her'enthusiasm, and I heard her pixie
voice urging "Let's go, Rico" regardless of
which player or which team was batting.
Another of her favourite battle cries was
"Let's make ,a home run!" When one player
hit a pop fly, she ask' ' "Was that a home
run, Daddy?"
",'No," answered Iti.r father.
I guess he has to do it again el huh,
daddy?" ,
Exitement is contagious. I became by a
Blut Jay rally, which tied the score halfway
through the game. I was out of my seat with
the rest of the crowd when a Toronto player
connected for a homer. 1 oohed and aahed
over a diving catch, -a seemingly impossible
double play and a scitillating fast ball,
f disagreed with the umpire. And in the.
eight inning. when Milwaukee scored five
runs, I sagged -with• the other fails. -
Although the outcome was disappointing
for Blue Jay fans, I came away with a little
more apPreciatiorr for the finer points of
baseball. After seeing a game in person,
though, I doubt whether I'll become excited,
about watching it 'on tv for an important,.,
ingredient will be missing - the crowd.
Canine distemper is a very serious.
'disease -that kills large numbers of
unvaccinated dogs every year, The disea'se
can be spread rapidly from' one dog to
another, however it does not • affect cats.
• Feline distemper is' caused by an entirely
different virus.
The canine distemper virus is closely
related 'to the human measles virus. This
fact has been utilized for the dog's benefit.
Measles vac'c'ine has been used to protect
• puppies agaiti'St diSteiiiiief:44Since the two
viruses are so similar, there has been quite
a bit of interest from public health
researchers. Recently,, scientists began
investigating a theory that 'linked canine
distemper with human multiple sclerosis,
but as, yet very little research has been
done to prove any relationship between the
distemper virus and the human disease.
Over 100 Years
The disease that the distemper virus
causes in dogs has been recognized for well

over 100 years. Five to ten days after
exposure, the dogs begin to show -clinical
signs of the disease. They become dull and
listless; stop ,oating and develop runny
eyes and noses.
For a couple of weeks the dog may have -
pus discharging around the eyes and nose
and' experience bredthing difficulties.
Diarrhea and coughing may be severe and
the dog may die at this point or may
survive until nervous complications arise,
one to three months later. These take the
form of convulsions, fits or paralysis and
most dogs affected with these signs die or
have to be euthanized. .
No Treatment
